Past Workshop Descriptions

Storyboarding

Storyboarding is the art of pre-planning a film using a sequence of drawn or digitally constructed frames to help the creative and technical team visualise what the final film will look like. Especially when using on a tight budget - or when using lots of visual effects and extensive post-production, storyboards can be a time and cost-saving tool to help get make the director’s vision come to life.  Making a storyboard is also a great way to hone your directing skills and share your ideas and pitches.

In this workshop - we’ll go over the basics of storyboarding techniques and how it relates to what you see on screen. Even if you can’t draw, we’ll get you working on a sequence by the end of the class.

The Introduction to Independent Filmmaking and Camera Theory workshops are strongly recommended as a prerequisites. This course is recommended as a companion to the Directing Dramatic Film workshop, Script Supervision and Visual Metaphor and Expressive Directing Techniques​ workshops.​
